Chilean Soccer and more

This week we have celebrated a birthday, continued with classes and afternoon activities, played and of course watched the Chile vs. Portugal game today. We had the opportunity to visit a Chilean school to watch the game and students were able to interact with children and teens. They were also able to join in the fun and experience the culture of watching soccer.
